WOMEN’S HEALTH IN ASSAM: CHALLENGES AND INTERVENTIONS
This paper explores the multifaceted challenges faced by women’s health in Assam and the interventions required to improve health outcomes in the region. Women's health is a key indicator of societal well-being, significantly impacting families and communities. In Assam, women confront various obstacles, including cultural stigma, limited healthcare access, inadequate infrastructure, and socio-economic disparities. This study emphasizes the importance of tailored interventions, both government and non-government, to address these challenges effectively. Recommendations for policy improvements include strengthening healthcare infrastructure, enhancing health education, empowering community health workers, and promoting integrated health services. By focusing on women’s health, this paper highlights the necessity of a collaborative approach involving various stakeholders to create a supportive environment for women’s health. The findings underscore that prioritizing women’s health is essential for achieving sustainable development and improving the overall health of Assam.
